Claimant v GXO Logistics UK Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the breach of contract claim had no reasonable prospect of success. The claimant was given until 6 August 2024 to make representations or request a hearing but failed to respond, resulting in the claim being struck out.
Facts
Mr Chibangula brought multiple complaints including a breach of contract claim against his employer GXO Logistics UK Ltd. Following a preliminary hearing on 23 July 2024, the tribunal identified that the breach of contract claim appeared to have no reasonable prospect of success and gave the claimant an opportunity to respond by 6 August 2024.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the breach of contract claim after the claimant failed to make any representations or request a hearing within the time allowed. The judgment confirms that the other complaints remain unaffected and will proceed to a final hearing.
Practical note
A claimant who fails to respond to a tribunal's unless order warning of potential strike-out will lose that claim, even if other claims remain live.
